Best of luck to you.

My neice is working on her masters. She is sharing a place with another person and doesn't have a car note. She doesn't have a job...at all. She tutors, pet sits, house sits and assists professors with term papers. All cash paying jobs. She is making enough to live on. It amazes me.

you're right. that's kind of the direction im headed in now. i know a permanent job is not going to come over night, so in the meantime i'm probably going to bartend..i know i can make some quick cash doing that.

Each branch of the joint base has some sort of school (lakehurst, mcgruire, and dix) some have multiple schools and also the daycare, prek, and youth programs. That would be a great place for you to look if your close (it says central jersey and we are pretty much in the middle here at ft dix).

thanks for the tip..i was on that site yesterday, but i will continue to look for sure.

Go to USAJOBS.gov This is how the federal Government hires for ALL positions. You can build a resume (and I would do a seperate one for each position you apply for that pertains to that specific job and skills), you can browse all federal agencies and there is a HUGE scope of employment on there everyday! I did nearly the same as you, I got a divorce, left Alabama leaving my job as ex military and correctional officer to start off back home in Jersey. I applied for EVERY prison in the state and was told i didn't qualify (even with experience and veterans preferance.) I applied to the department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons and was hired very quickly! I now make triple my salary from Alabama and can transfer to almost any state in the coutry as long as they have a fed prison. Prison may not be a choice for you but we have teachers, cooks, medical staff, secretaries, acountants, and tons of non custody jobs! I am not saying hey come to the FED BOP but deff give that website a look and see if you can't find something that better suits you! GOOD LUCK!

And they make darn good money!
Wishing you the best cta in your employment search. If you have a bit of cash reserve, see if you can volunteer somewhere you'd like to work....they may find you irreplacable and hire you on.
